August at Le Grand Lodge

Blues are at their Bluest; Greens are at their Greenest!

It seems as though Thanksgiving has made an early start here at the hotel. I want to extend a special thank you to Mr. & Mrs. Macmillan, active and loyal owners at the Grand Lodge, for referring groups who we entertained in June and the other we will be hosting in September. And also thank you to Mr. Bud Iredale for bringing his golf group to the hotel for the 2nd consecutive year. Good things happen at the Grand Lodge and for Mr. Iredale it was experiencing his first hole in one. Congratulations Bud!

We work hard at taking care of all our guests and are grateful for the opportunity to greet each one of you that comes through our doors.

Everything is in place...

The Kid’s Club is off to a good start with our two motivated and eager camp counselors and a full schedule of fun and learning activities for kids 5 to 12. From their smiles and the laughter through the halls, I think everyone is enjoying themselves. The beach is in superb shape and our lake has just been evaluated with excellent water quality!

...even Mother Nature!

And thank you to Mother Nature who couldn’t be kinder with some of the nicest weather conditions in years; lots of sunshine and just enough rain. The blues couldn’t be bluer and the greens couldn’t be greener, as all of us here at the Grand Lodge look forward to welcoming you with open arms for your summer vacation.

I look forward to being your host in our small corner of paradise.

Warmest regards,

Michael Kucyniak General Manager

Every Friday morning during the month of August is dedicated to our young guests. Our team at the studio has joined forces with the Grand Lodge’s Kids Club program in offering an initiation to massage.

With our GOM-MEE line of children’s products, kids will experience for themselves the relaxing pleasure and benefits of massage as stresses from their young bodies melt away. We promise them hours of fun while learning something that will benefit them throughout their life.

We look forward to pampering you and your kids!
